SAN FRANCISCO, May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- OKX, a leading Web3 technology company, today announced that it will soon launch Ordinals Marketplace on OKX Wallet, allowing users to mint and trade Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens.

OKX will attend Bitcoin Builders, the first-ever conference focused on Bitcoin's Layer-2 ecosystem, on 17 May in Miami, where Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau will speak on a panel alongside other industry leaders. OKX will announce further support for the Bitcoin protocol and community in the near future.
